Maybe he got CCP$, blackmailed, in so deep he can’t get out, doesn’t want to get out, thinks Trump is gone, wants to be on winning side.
Whatever his reasons, he’s worse than an out and out demshevik. I hope the decent people in AZ recall him asap.
I can fully understand your mother’s viewpoint on Trump. I had a similar mindset initially, and was really pulling for Cruz. Trump won the primary, I regrouped, looked past his demeanor, and saw a really good guy.
In hindsight, I don’t that there’s anyone else out there that could withstand the evil uprising the way Trump has. And what I initially didn’t like - his willingness to speak his mind freely - has turned out to be his greatest asset. He does not dance around words - he says them bluntly.
When I first heard he was running I thought “you’re Kidding.” After I listened to him and filtered out the bluster I realized he was the real deal. Nobody else could stand what he has put up with. He’s a fighter. I love his plain talk but it did take a while to get used to it. You know what I’m talking about with the older Southern generation. Some of them expect a President to sound like a TV preacher. Trump doesn’t do that. LOL Now most of the other Republican politicians sound like sweet talking con artists.

Took me less than 5 seconds, but I have an advantage from being married to a native NYer. (He’s a FL transplant for even longer than I am, but still talks like one!) We were both onboard the Trump Train from Day 1. And I had no doubt he’d win.

Watched it.

That really hit home, powerful
I happened to watch one that popped up right after that called Mortuary Skit. It is about 2 Soldiers given the responsibility of notifying the family and the families responce. It was hard to watch, living thru what they had to experience, but a real reality check. I recommend it.

3:58pm May 31, 2021 Wow! I hear they have thousands and thousands of boats parading in Jupiter, despite the fact that they tried to cancel us. Everyone is having an incredible time. On this day, we especially appreciate everyone who served and fought for our great Country. I love you all!

Is actually good. Just by not voting it helped defeat the measure or whatever itās called; had to have 60 votes to pass.
******************
Or is it two thirds of those present and voting?
As far as I know (and hopefully someone who knows better will correct), this vote required 60 yes votes to pass.
That, he certainly is!
Many of my work contacts are Democrats, but several have come around quite a bit. One woman told me some months back that she and her husband, although lifelong Democrats, became Trump fans because they're both very results-oriented, and saw how much good he's done for America as a sovereign nation. They both admire that he does what he says he'll do.
Found the answer:
“The Senate rules permit a senator, or a series of senators, to speak for as long as they wish, and on any topic they choose, unless “three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn”[1] (currently 60 out of 100) vote to close debate by invoking cloture under Senate Rule XXII.”
Looks like 60 no matter what. The only other way to for the Dems to use the nuclear option.
Thank you - I thought it had something to do with filibuster. I think they have to vote on eliminating the filibuster rule and they can’t get 60 to vote to eliminate it. If I’m wrong let me know!

Unfortunately it only takes 51+ votes to get rid of the fillibuster:
“At times, the “nuclear option” has been proposed to eliminate the 60 vote threshold for certain matters before the Senate. The nuclear option is a parliamentary procedure that allows the Senate to override one of its standing rules, including the 60-vote rule to close debate, by a simple majority (51+ votes or 50 votes with the Vice President casting the tie-breaking vote), rather than the two-thirds supermajority normally required to amend Senate rules.”
First employed in 2013:

((((HUGS)))), prayers for you and family on the death of your brother.
Thanks for the info. Interesting the demsheviks have not voted to eliminate the filibuster; I’ve read that a dem or two don’t want to eliminate it. I suppose some might want to keep it thinking that they will be minority party sometime.

The land line gets some, but the cell phone doesn’t.
The USA is a funny place. I don’t get what happened that makes us so slow? We were mercilessly late, in WWII, as well.

I ask myself,.. if I were MIL, would I wanna lay up a new government for civilians laid down like this, with the risks that go with it?
How motivated would a commander have to be to send troops in, anywhere, before a sleepy populace gives a smoke signal they are even interested in such a wholesale venture?
They could, after all, be shot for treason, without that 65-70% hardened support from Americans actually showing it, in the streets, in person.
Not sure that a few dozen very high profile millionaires in private industry, in law, and a few in Congress, is what the MIL had in mind as the “GO” Signal.
